Snakes And Arrows - Rush

This band have been prominent in my life since my early teens and they have walked with me from that age to where I am now, in the background whilst I began working and when I discovered beer and sex; watching on whilst I married and had kids and holding my hand when the marriage fell through and I got divorced. Sounds corny, I know, but I guess everyone has that own special band that they have loved for years and years… ‘Snakes and Arrows’ is Rush’s ...
...there will always be people who say, ‘Rush? Who/what the hell is that?’ Well… Rush were formed in 1969, Toronto, Canada.

Review of Snakes And Arrows - Rush

Finally - after some anticipation built up by not only a Rush in Rio Live album, the R30 Anniversary Tour and the release of a triple classic DVD set - the new album arrived earlier in the year.

Review of Snakes And Arrows - Rush

For all the Rush fans who have eagerly been awaiting this album you will be blown away! Absolutely addictive! After a few years of being converted by my husband (who is a huge fan), the long awaited new album release proceeding the tour arrived. Now I've listened to alot of their earlier albums (Roll the Bones, Counterparts, etc) and was really blown away by their new stuff. Geggy Lee's voice has matured magically over the past 30 odd years, and ...
...on this album. Neil Peart of course just cannot be matched by ANY drummer on this earth! If you are a long time Rush fan you will NOT be disapppointed I will not talk about each track - they are all fantastic and everyone will have their own favourites! Here's to the next album which will hopefully be the live stuff from their huge World Tour 2007 which I had the privelige to see in Mancherter. Rock on Rush!!!!! ...
